I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

I’m old and have a lot less at stake than many people. If I get arrested, I won’t lose my pension. If I get shot, I’ll lose 10-20 years of arthritis getting worse and worse. I have no reason not to rouse a little rabble.

If you spent a dollar per second, it would take nearly 32 years to spend a billion of your dollars. Sorry some folks aren’t cool with you, I suppose.

No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

We obtained a mysterious box of 1960s electronics. I reverse-engineered it, and with much effort, we got it running. It turns out to be a test unit for testing NASA's Up-Data Link, a system from the Apollo moon landing to control the spacecraft from the ground. Let's take a look inside... 1/n

In United States v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors was not unconstitutional—the first case of its kind on which the court has ruled.

The reason many in the press were happy to see Biden’s comms team go is because it routinely ghosted us, dropped us from email chains, ignored requests, acted elitist, spoke down to some and indifferent to others. I have covered every POTUS since Reagan. No admin had a more incompetent comms staff

Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion clearly all pent up for years and now allowing himself to do it because of Trump coming to power www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1e...

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

We repeat this experiment (or versions of it) in towns over and over again with the same positive outcome every time but without any resultant widespread policy change.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

November 14, 1995: Seattle's Shawn Kemp with three alley-oop dunks (assisted by Gary Payton, Hersey Hawkins, then Payton again) during a 115-107 win at Philadelphia. Kemp finished with 29 PTS/12 REB/5 BLK and Payton had 19 PTS/11 AST/6 STL for the Sonics. The 76ers' Jerry Stackhouse scored 27 PTS.

Ha. Hahahahahahahahaaha.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
